I said a Christmas Prayer for you Because the season's near. I didn't ask for riches But for gifts so much more dear. I asked for joyful gatherings With your family all round, And for carols to inspire you With their old familiar sound. I asked for quiet moments In your heart on Christmas morn, For a special time to celebrate The Savior who was born. I asked for friends to send their best That you might know they care; I asked for peace and love and hope, And I know God heard my prayer.
